indication when detected objects are
within 60 cm (24 in) and are inside the
driving path of your vehicle. When you stop
your vehicle, the audible warnings turn off
after two seconds.
When you shift into any forward gear, the
system provides audible warnings and a
visual indication when your vehicle is

As your vehicle moves closer to the object,
the rate of the tone increases.
Note: The system does not detect an object
that is moving toward the side of your
vehicle, for example another vehicle moving
at low speed, if it does not pass a front or
rear sensor.
Object Distance Indicator(If Equipped)
When you shift into neutral (N), the system
only provides a visual indication if your
vehicle is moving at a speed of
approximately 8 km/h (5 mph) or below.
For example, your vehicle is moving on a
slope, and the system detects an object
moving toward your vehicle. When you
stop your vehicle, the visual indication
turns off after four seconds.
If the system is not available, the side
distance indicator blocks do not display.
